her:that's the kind of hair i want; like her hair.
me:the lady with the ponytail?
her:yeah. see how it's long and everything in the back? like that. but you know it's fake.
me:....why?
her:cause it's long.
me:........so black women can't have long hair?
her. nope.
me:have you seen my hair?
her:[matter of fact] well you're not from here.
